Description
Location
The land is situated at Blue Bank Bottom Farm, at the foot of Blue Bank leading out of Sleights village on the A169.
Access
Directly from the A169 Whitby to Pickering road across the tarmacked yard of Blue Bank Bottom Farm and then there is a full agricultural Right of Way over two further grass paddocks until the field gate, as marked green on the boundary plan.
Description
A ring fenced parcel of 15.12 acres of permanent pasture which is divided into 2 fields. It is bounded by a combination of mature hedges together with post and wire fences, some of which need attention. The top, most westerly lying field is relatively flat or gently sloping and the other is more steeply sloping down to Iburndale Beck.
Water
Water is supplied by springs and surface run off which feeds into an open gutter.
Recent Farming Policy
In recent time all of this land has been let out on a seasonal grazing license to a neighboring farmer which confines no security of tenure. It is anticipated that this licensee will continue to graze these fields for the remainder of the 2025 grazing season but vacant possession is guaranteed on completion.
Subsidy status and Agri Enviroment Schemes
There are no BPS Entitlement Schemes to transfer with this land.
The grazing tenant has this land entered into Stewardship Agreements and therefore the new purchaser will not be able to enter this land into any new agreements until the existing ones have been transferred.
Sporting and Mineral Rights
Sporting Rights are in hand and will pass on completion.
Mineral Rights
Mineral Rights are specially excluded from the sale and will be retained by the vendors.
Wayleaves, Easements and Rights of Way
The land is offered for sale subject to and with the benefit of all Wayleaves, Easements and Rights of Way etc whether mentioned in these particulars or otherwise. There are known to be several footpaths which bisect the land. There is a line of telegraph poles in the lower field.
